About the GSS Catalog - Version 8
Information about GSS is sourced from SEWP V https://www.sewp.nasa.gov/strategic_solutions.shtml
As part of the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI), a Workstations Commodity Team (WCT) was established in 2013 at the direction of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to develop a framework and strategy to reduce costs and increase value through the application of strategic sourcing principles. The Team, led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with participation by over twenty-five Federal Agencies, identified desktop and laptop (now referred to as notebook) configurations that meet the requirements of the Federal Government for approximately 80% of systems purchased and also incorporated best practices in spend management.
NASA collaborated with implementation partners from the General Services Administration (GSA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a deployment strategy for the initiative. The Government-wide Strategic Solutions (GSS) for Desktops and Laptops is offered through the following acquisition vehicles: NASA Solutions for Enterprise Wide Procurement (SEWP), the NIH NITACC CIO-CS, GSA Schedule 70 (Hardware), and through the ARMY CHESS Program.
In October 2015, OMB issued M-16-02: Category Management Policy 15-1: Improving the Acquisition and Management of Common Information Technology: Laptops and Desktops. This policy mandates the use of GSS for Federal Agencies to fulfill the bulk of their desktop and laptop requirements.

The GSS pilot program systems were implemented for purchase in 2015. A comprehensive refresh process has been deployed every year since in which Agencies provide updates to their requirements and industry shares its directions and feedback.
System history is as follows: Version 2 launched in April 2016, Version 3 in June 2017, Version 4 in April 2018, Version 5 in July 2019, Version 6 in July 2020, Version 7 in August 2021, and Version 8 in August 2022. To see all configurations available on GSA, SEWP, and CIO-CS, click here.
